If you want to check column A using column B as the date source:

=INDEX(A2:A7,MATCH(E2,B2:B7,FALSE))

E2 is where I put the date to query. FALSE within the formula means that the
cell will shown N/A if the date is not in column B - If you leave the FALSE
flag out it will select the exact match or the nearest above.

I have the following table that I need to lookup a value. I am trying to use
the =MATCH(G1,LLTable,0) formula to lookup the G1 date 04/03/2009 in the
LLtable below and return the CWW value to the left of each row.

Col "A" Col "B" Col "C"
Col "D"
CWW 1 Mar 16, 2009 Apr 06, 2009 Apr 27, 2009
CWW 2 Mar 20, 2009 Apr 10, 2009 May 01, 2009
CWW 3 Mar 23, 2009 Apr 13, 2009 May 04, 2009
CWW 4 Mar 27, 2009 Apr 17, 2009 May 08, 2009
CWW 5 Mar 30, 2009 Apr 20, 2009 May 11, 2009
CWW 6 Apr 03, 2009 Apr 24, 2009 May 15, 2009

So if the formula above was to work as designed, it would lookup 04/03/2009
in the table and return the corresponding value from column "A" of CWW6.

I am not sure if I should be using a combination MATCH/OFFEST combo. Can
someone guide through this please?

Thanks

Tony
